Range of a convergent sequence is bounded.

177 Views Asked by At

We were given this exercise in class with the solution but some things about it are unclear for me.

Assume that the sequence $(a_n)$ converges. Show that the set $\{a_n | > n\in \mathbb{N}\}$ is bounded.

The solution goes as follows.

Since $(a_n)$ converges, there is a number $L$ such that $\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}a_n=L$. By definition, for $\epsilon=1$ we can find $n_{\epsilon}\in\mathbb{N}$ such that

$$n\gt n_{\epsilon} \Rightarrow |a_n-L|\lt\epsilon \Rightarrow > |a_n|-|L|\lt\epsilon \Rightarrow |a_n|\lt 1+|L|$$

and by the definition of absolute value

$$-1-|L|\lt a_n\lt 1+|L|.$$

We have found an index of the sequence from which onward its members are bounded from below by $-1-|L|$ and above by $1+|L|$.

Now we can choose $M=max\{|a_0|,|a_1|,|a_2|,...,|a_{n_{\epsilon}}|, > 1+|L|\}$ to bound all members of the sequence. Now $|a_n|\lt M$ for all $n\in\mathbb{N}$ hence the set $\{a_n | n\in \mathbb{N}\}$ is bounded.

The solution makes sense to me until the $M=max\{|a_0|,|a_1|,|a_2|,...,|a_{n_{\epsilon}}|, > 1+|L|\}$ part. Didn't we already prove the set was bounded by $-1-|L|$ and $1+|L|$ so why was this necessary? I also don't understand the phrase "we have found an index of the sequence from which onward its members are bounded -". Didn't we prove that the whole sequence was bounded?

No, you have that $|a_n|\leq 1+L$ only if $n>n_\varepsilon $. So, if you set $M=\max\{|a_0|,...,|a_{n_\varepsilon }|, 1+L\}$, then obviously $|a_n|\leq M$ for all $n$.
